Did you know that Invasive species are a significant threat to climate preparedness and resilience? Their impacts fundamentally alter natural and built systems, reducing society’s ability to adapt to a changing climate.

BIKE TO YOGA

Bike, walk, or run to class 6 times and receive a free (transferable) class credit or a 20% coupon for one item in the Farmstand. Your card acts as your coupon. Just present the fully punched card when you are ready to redeem it.

Punch cards will be available at the front desk (or at the Farmstand) and we are leaning into the Honor system for folks to self-punch their cards.

There is a bike rack located to the right of the Farmstand.

Thank you for reducing Carbon Emissions!


WELLNESS PUNCHCARDS

For every 6 Elderberry Tinctures purchased, you will receive the 7th one free. This will be by the honor system. Just punch your card when you make a purchase (or when you bring your bottle back). There will be hole punchers at the front desk in the yoga barn and by the cash register down in the Farmstand.

Please be a good Earth steward by returning your bottles or bringing them back to be filled from our bulk supply of Elderberry (for the reduced bulk price).

Your card acts as your coupon. Just present the fully punched card when you are ready to redeem it.


EAT LESS MEAT

What are the environmental benefits of reducing meat consumption? Cutting back on meat is one of the most impactful actions you can take to help protect the environment. It helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and soil degradation. Lower meat consumption also conserves vast amounts of land and water, while supporting greater biodiversity.

COMMUNITY SKILL SHARING

Do you have a skill to share and or need a hand with a project? We are building community resilience through hands-on workshops, skill-sharing, knowledge exchange, and emergency preparedness. From food preservation (like fermentation or canning), to building a three-bay compost bin, to basic bike maintenance & repair, the opportunities to learn and connect are endless.

Got an idea or want to get involved? Send us an email - we’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

We can’t do this alone!

COMMUNITY HARVEST DAYS

DATE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10th

TIME: 4:00pm - 6:30 pm

Throughout the summer, when the Tulsi reaches ankle high, we will initiate our Community Harvest Days at Shilo Farm. These are sweet gatherings where in exchange for filling a few bushels for the Shilo Herbal Apothecary, you can go home with a bagful of medicinal herbs or a flower arrangement.

We are limiting this to 8 folks. Please email us if you intend on joining. Please park in the Shilo Parking area and cross the street. The Herb field is behind the red barn. You’re welcome to come for some or all of the time…

Stay tuned to our Community Calendar to learn about these special gatherings!

Let us know you are coming!
